Finale II on this really takes you to another place. I'm not afraid, VALIS is real to quote one of the lyrics. A book that ate away at the paranoia of PK Dick, and really was him writing down his delusions or mechanics of self induced visions. This opera is unheard of really, but was very technical and the composer certainly has great ability. I found it in an antique shop in Dordrecht, Netherlands very recently amongst some Gandalf and Ron Boots CDs.
